2000 AD #1511

Prog 1511 of 2000 AD promises a fresh Nikolai Dante adventure with a cover by Simon Fraser that sets the mood beautifully — a confident, sword-wielding figure in purple strides forward alongside a green-scarved woman, while a colossal ghostly face and a futuristic cityscape loom dramatically behind them, all under the bold title "Sword of the Tsar." Inside, John Wagner writes and Carlos Ezquerra handles the full art on "Origins Part 7: Working on the Chain Gang," making this a strong week for one of British comics' most enduring weekly anthologies.
